In view of the above, the proposed development actively addressed PO9 of the High density residential
code as follows:

         PO9
         Buildings and structures are designed and sited to:

    a) provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises, including
       provision of visual and acoustic privacy;

The proposed development has been designed to optimise both internal and external amenity for
future occupants while minimising impacts on adjoining premises. Privacy is addressed through
strategic building articulation, the inclusion of screening elements such as planter boxes along the
northern boundary, and landscaping treatments that soften views and reduce potential overlooking.
Additionally, the limited extent of the built form encroaching into the setback areas ensures that
adjoining properties are not adversely affected by visual bulk or dominance.

    b) not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or habitable
       areas of adjoining premises;

The building maintains appropriate separation from neighbouring properties, and upper-level design
elements including the third storey have been carefully recessed and articulated to reduce potential
for overlooking. The overall height remains below 10.5m above natural ground level, which assists in
maintaining view corridors and reducing the development's visual prominence from surrounding
dwellings. Screening shrubs in the northern boundary planter box further mitigate overlooking to
adjacent private open space.

    c) provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses;

The proposed development achieves sufficient separation distance to adjoining land uses in addition
to generous screen planting along the side boundaries.

    d) preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development;
